[SciPy-user] SciPy with gcc4 and gfortran on OS X

[Zachary Pincus]

Hi folks,

I just built the latest scipy svn version on a G5 with gfortran to  
see how things went.
Everything build OK, and the tests don't segfault, but all the  
problems I reported on my G4 persist. Specifically, some tests fail  
all the time and some fail sporadically (see below). Also, I still  
get the 'WARNING: clapack module is empty' message, which Robert  
informed me shouldn't be happening on OS X.

Oh well. Anything I can do to help sort out these issues?
